We have been blessed some good winter rain in the Western Cape, and after the drought we do appreciate it.

 

June we measured about 141mm of rain, and the trails took a knock.  Patrick and his team worked hard, and large sections of the trails are properly manicured.  :thumbup:   :clap:

 

June had another 118mm of rain.  

 

On Friday afternoon I did a nice ride, finding that sweet spot .... four days after the previous rain, and 2 hours before the next downpour.  The trails were damp in a few spots, but Oooo-so-nice  :thumbup:

 

Thus far we have had 87mm of rain in August, with a nice 26mm in 1 hour yesterday  :eek:

 

Not surprisingly we got a club email today confirming the trails are closed for a few days.

 

 

 

No problem, time to start up the IDT.  First lap was very nice .... and true as Bob .... RAIN on the second lap ...  :wacko:   :whistling:

If that is a "slow" group, I think I should just give up cycling...

We go as fast as the slowest person.

 

For us, 26km/h is slow, especially on a flat (roadie) route with a tailwind on the final 3rd - for a group that can finish most 100Km races in less than 3.5 hours.
